  • Showcase India’s global engagement (Romania jobs deal, Qatar summit).

  • Reflect international labour/employment trends (US trucker policy, Maldives smoking ban).

  • Illustrate trade & technology diplomacy (UK-US tariffs & tech deal).

  • Provide one-liner factual statements (e.g., “Maldives bans tobacco for those born after 2008”).

Use these as one-liners for revision, then link them to broader themes: demographic shifts, health policies, labour migration, geopolitics.

International Current Affairs – 30 October 2025: Stay updated with key International Current Affairs for 30 October 2025. Explore global economic shifts, trade duty changes, bond-market trends and geopolitics. Examine how these developments impact India and competitive-exam aspirants.

International Current Affairs – 30 October 2025

In today’s fast-paced global landscape, staying informed about international developments is essential—not only for awareness but for making sense of India’s evolving role in the world. In this update for 30 October 2025, we highlight major events that span trade policy, global markets, corporate-regulatory setbacks, and more. These are highly relevant for aspirants preparing for competitive exams, interviews, or anyone following global affairs.

1. India to Impose 30% Import Duty on Yellow Peas from 1 November

The Indian government has announced that starting 1 November 2025, a 30% import duty will be applied on yellow peas—an important move aimed at protecting domestic farmers. Reuters

Details & Context

  • The notification was issued on 29 October and states that shipments bearing a bill of lading dated on or before 31 October 2025 will be exempt from this new duty.

  • India is the world’s largest importer of yellow peas, sourcing from countries like Canada and Russia. Cheap imports had compressed domestic prices, prompting farmer protests. Reuters

  • Initially, duty-free imports had been permitted until 31 March 2026. This reversal signals the government’s readiness to protect the agriculture sector.

Significance

  • For India’s trade policy, this is a clear sign of returning to protective measures when local stakeholders are impacted.

  • From an economic-exam perspective, it raises themes of import substitution, agrarian distress, and tariff policy.

  • For global trade watchers, it demonstrates how large economies may respond to dumped or low-priced imports affecting domestic sectors.

2. Global Bond Markets Face One of Their Toughest Octobers

October 2025 has proved to be a challenging month for global bond markets, with yield spikes and investor caution amid inflation pressures and heavy sovereign borrowing. Reuters

Facts & Figures

  • Analysts describe it as “an October to remember for bruised global bond markets.”

  • The pressures include sticky inflation, large supply of government bonds (especially in the US and Europe), and changing investor expectations about interest-rates.

Implications

  • For India, and other emerging markets, a stressed global bond market means more expensive foreign borrowing, capital-flow volatility, and risk of currency depreciation.

  • For exam aspirants, this topic links well to “global financial markets”, “capital flows to emerging economies”, and how international conditions affect domestic fiscal and monetary policy.

  • From a macro perspective: higher global yields might cause foreign investors to pull out of Indian debt or expect better returns elsewhere, posing a risk to India’s external stability.

  • Investors reacted quickly, reflecting concern over regulatory risk in a key market.

Relevance

International Current Affairs – 29 October 2025: Stay updated with the latest in global diplomacy, trade, security and environment. Explore international developments, major summit take‑aways and strategic shifts in our comprehensive 29 October 2025 current affairs report.

International Current Affairs – 29 October 2025

In an era of rapid global change, the world’s diplomatic, economic and security landscapes are being re‑shaped in real time. The developments of 29 October 2025 reflect seismic shifts – from trade summits and strategic dialogues to climate commitments and innovation in global hubs. This comprehensive report captures key international updates that matter for competitive exams, general awareness and broader understanding of the world order. We unpack major events, analyse their implications and draw linkages that help you make sense of where things are headed.

1. Global Trade & Investment Dynamics

a) FII 9 in Riyadh: Shaping the Next Era of Global Capital

The FII9 — the Future Investment Initiative held in Riyadh — entered its second day on 29 October 2025, with global heads of state, CEOs, and ministers in attendance. The discussion themes centred around “destination 2030: future of investment, policy and purpose”. ET Now
Saudi Arabia’s leadership highlighted its move from fossil‑based revenues towards technology, renewables and global asset‑building. Speakers emphasised that emerging markets cannot wait for the West to lead — they must chart their own path.
Why it matters: This signals a shift where capital is increasingly globalised, and policy frameworks across jurisdictions have to align with sustainable, digital, and inclusive paradigms. For India as well, the message is clear: jump‑on or risk being bypassed.

b) Japan Signals Continuity in Russia Engagement

In a surprising pivot, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara affirmed on 29 October that Japan must maintain dialogue with Moscow despite the Ukraine‑Russia conflict and pressure from the U.S. and its allies. The Times of India
Kihara’s statement came amid U.S. efforts to isolate Russia, indicating Tokyo’s desire for strategic autonomy and diversified diplomacy.
Key implications:

  • Japan’s stance reflects Asia‑Pacific states balancing great‑power tensions.

  • For India and other middle‑powers, it reinforces the notion of “multi‑alignment” — engaging multiple blocs simultaneously.

2. Security & Diplomacy Developments

a) ASEAN‑China FTA 3.0 Upgrade Protocol

At the 2025 ASEAN Summit, the ASEAN–China Free Trade Area (ACFTA) 3.0 upgrade protocol was signed on 28‑29 October, and the reverberations continue on 29 October. Wikipedia The agreement deepens digital trade, green economy collaboration, services and investment flows.
Why this is pivotal:

  • The protocol underpins the region’s pivot toward high‑value, sustainable trade chains.

  • For India, while not a member of ASEAN, this signals intensifying regional economic architecture — offering both an opportunity and a competitive challenge.

b) India Maritime Week 2025 Opens to Global Leaders

The India Maritime Week 2025 officially launched on 29 October 2025 in Mumbai. The event will host global CEOs, ministers and maritime stakeholders, and will feature a special plenary chaired by India’s PM. India Shipping News
The theme emphasises “blue economy, sustainable port infrastructure and multi‑modal connectivity”.
Relevance:

  • With global supply‑chains under stress, maritime logistics are regaining strategic weight.

  • India’s active role signals its intent to become a logistics and maritime hub in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).

3. Technological & Innovation Frontiers

a) Gorkha Regiment Retrospective: Historical Linkages with Nepal

A feature piece published on 29 October traced how under the Tripartite Agreement (Britain, India, Nepal) after 1947, six regiments joined the Indian Army and four went to Britain. India Today
Though historical, the piece is relevant today for understanding the enduring linkages between India and Nepal in security cooperation.
Exam angle: Multilateral treaties, regimental heritage, India‑Nepal relations.

b) Urban Innovation: U.S. Visa Fee Hikes & India’s Opportunity

An analysis dated 29 October pointed to the recent hike in U.S. H‑1B visa fees as a strategic opening for India to attract global talent and invest in livable cities. Vision IAS
The story expands on how cities in India could become global R&D hubs if policy frameworks align.
Implication:

  • Tech competition is moving beyond Silicon Valley to include secondary cities globally.

  • India stands to gain if it positions itself as an alternative talent destination.

4. Environment, Energy & Resources

a) Sustainability in Trade Agreements

The ACFTA upgrade (see above) emphasised the green economy and digital trade — marking a trend where trade pacts now embed climate‑tech and sustainability clauses.
What to watch:

  • Will investments flow into clean manufacturing zones in South East Asia and India?

  • How will standards (carbon border adjustments, ESG metrics) influence Indian exports?

b) Multi‑Polar Energy Realities

While not a single event on 29 October, the broader context remains: India, Japan and other Asian powers are recalibrating energy partnerships (including links with Russia, Middle East, etc.).
Takeaway: The energy‑security conversation now merges with trade, diplomacy and supply‑chain resilience.

5. Global Summary & Trendlines

  • The era of unilateral Western leadership in trade and security is evolving; regional players are asserting agency (ASEAN, Japan, India).

  • Economic summits like FII 9 show that investment decisions are now tied to policy, technology and sustainability — not just capital‑seek.

  • Maritime, digital and urban infrastructure is becoming as strategic as traditional military might.

  • Talent flows, visa regimes and tech hubs indicate a race for soft power built on innovation ecosystems.

  • History and tradition (e.g., the Gorkha story) continue to matter in shaping contemporary relations.

Implications for India & Competitive Exams

For India

  • India must leverage its “geographic advantage” in the IOR while deepening partnerships in digital manufacturing, maritime logistics and talent flows.

  • Strategic autonomy remains a viable path: engaging the U.S., Russia, China and regional neighbours simultaneously rather than siding with one bloc.

  • Investing in green‑tech and supporting trade frameworks like ACFTA will be crucial to sustained growth.

For Exams

  • Link 29 October events with static topics: trade agreements, diplomatic summit protocols, talent migration, maritime strategy.

  • Formulate MCQs like: “Which free‑trade area got upgraded via protocol on 29 October 2025?”

  • Essay hints: “Global investment summits and India’s role in the new investment architecture.”

  • Interview prompt: “With rising visa fees in the U.S., can India become a global talent hub?”

Key Facts for Revision

  • FII 9 Riyadh (29 Oct 2025) emphasises next‑gen investment, technology, sustainability.

  • Japan maintains dialogue with Moscow despite U.S. pressure (29 Oct 2025).

  • ASEAN‑China Free Trade Area 3.0 upgrade protocol signed (28‑29 Oct 2025) emphasising digital/green trade.

  • India launches Maritime Week 2025 in Mumbai (29 Oct 2025) to promote blue economy and logistics.

  • U.S. H‑1B visa fee hikes seen as talent opportunity for India (29 Oct 2025).

  • Gorkha Regiment origination story (29 Oct 2025) highlights India‑Nepal defence links.

Final Thoughts

The events of 29 October 2025 reflect how the international system is evolving — from unified blocs to multi‑vector alignments, from fossil‑fuel trade to digital‑green supply‑chains, from unilateral dominance to decentralised agency. For India and aspirants alike, staying ahead means viewing current affairs not as disparate news items but as inter‑linked threads of strategy, policy and future outcomes.

By internalising these trends, you’re not just reading the news — you’re understanding the trajectory of global power, economy and diplomacy. Bookmark this date, revisit these developments, and integrate them into your broader exam and awareness narrative.

International Current Affairs – 28 October 2025

Explore the latest developments in global diplomacy, economy, security and technology with our detailed coverage of International Current Affairs – 28 October 2025. Stay informed with exam-ready insights and analysis.

International Current Affairs – 28 October 2025

In today’s interconnected world, global events ripple across continents and affect both national policy and competitive exam preparation alike. For aspirants preparing for exams such as UPSC, SSC, Bank, Railways, and other government jobs, staying abreast of international developments is essential — not just for GK but also for essay writing, interviews, and analytical questions. In this detailed article, we examine some of the most significant global happenings as of 28 October 2025, explore their context, unpack their implications, and highlight how they tie into broader themes like trade, diplomacy, security, and technology.

1. ASEAN Summit & Southeast Asia Diplomacy

One of the most prominent events this month has been the 47th ASEAN Summit (26-28 October 2025) held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The summit adopted “Inclusivity and Sustainability” as its central theme, while officially admitting Timor‑Leste as the 11th member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Wikipedia+1

Context & Key Developments:

  • Timor-Leste’s accession reflects ASEAN’s drive to expand and integrate the region further, both politically and economically.

  • The summit focused on issues such as the South China Sea, regional connectivity, supply chains, digital economy, climate change, and inclusive growth.

  • Malaysia, as host, placed special emphasis on sustainable development, renewable energy, and bridging development gaps among member states.

Implications:

  • For India and other external partners, the enlargement of ASEAN offers deeper engagement opportunities in Southeast Asia — in trade, infrastructure, security and connectivity.

  • Timor-Leste’s membership may shift the balance of power and invite renewed interest from major powers (China, US, Australia) in the region.

  • For aspirants, this event links to topics such as regional groupings (ASEAN), India’s “Act East” policy, global supply chain shifts, and geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific.

Linkage for Exams:

  • How do regional forums like ASEAN shape India’s foreign policy?

  • Role of emerging economies like Timor-Leste in regional diplomacy.

  • Sustainability and inclusivity in multilateral frameworks.

2. EU’s 19th Package of Sanctions Against Russia

On 23 October 2025, the European Council adopted its 19th package of sanctions targeting Russia for its ongoing aggression in Ukraine. The measures target key sectors including energy, finance, crypto-providers, banks, and enforcement of stricter controls on movement of Russian diplomats. Consilium

What Does the Package Contain?

  • Ban on imports of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) into the EU under long-term contracts starting January 2027, and shorter contracts within six months.

  • Additional listings of individuals and entities responsible for undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty.

  • Tighter oversight of Russian banking/financial flows, including third-country operators enabling revenue streams.

  • Measures also aimed at Belarus for its complicity in Russia’s war effort.

Why It Matters:

  • The sanctions illustrate how Europe is recalibrating its energy security, supply chains and dependence on Russian resources — an issue with global consequences.

  • They impact global commodity markets, LNG trade routes, and have knock-on effects for countries like India, which import energy.

  • These developments are relevant for questions about sanctions policy, global value chains, and international law/sovereignty.

Exam Perspective:

  • Nature and impact of economic sanctions as a tool of diplomacy.

  • Russia-Ukraine war’s spill-over effects on global economy and energy.

  • India’s balancing act between Western sanctions regimes and its strategic partnerships.

3. Global Economy: IMF’s World Economic Outlook and Slow Growth

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) released its World Economic Outlook (WEO) – October 2025, cautioning that while near-term growth is modestly revised upward, the global economy remains sluggish. Global growth is projected to slow from 3.3 % in 2024 to 3.2 % in 2025 and 3.1 % in 2026. Advanced economies are expected to grow around 1.5 %, while emerging markets hover just above 4%. IMF

Significance:

  • The revised modestly upward yet still weak projections reflect persistent headwinds: inflation, high interest rates, geopolitical tensions, disrupted supply chains, and climate shocks.

  • For India and other large emerging economies, this underscores the importance of domestic resilience, reforms and diversified export markets.

  • The WEO also provides data and forecast which is useful for comparative analysis in exams (e.g., how India’s growth rates compare with global averages).

Relevance for Aspirants:

  • Use the data to create comparative statements: “While the world economy is projected at 3.2 % in 2025, India’s growth forecast is X% (insert figure)…”

  • Link global slowdown to topics like monetary policy (RBI/Fed), trade wars, supply disruptions and climate-induced shocks.

  • This connects with GS Paper 3 topics: globalisation, IMF, economic indicators, growth, commerce.

4. Tech & Innovation: Artificial Intelligence and Investment Trends

Though specific headlines for 28 October are limited in publicly indexed sources for AI, the broader context is clear: global tech investments are rapidly shifting, particularly in AI chips, cloud infrastructure, semiconductors, and digital supply chains. For example, major deals worth USD 1.5 trillion in AI chip and infrastructure were reported for global players. Business Standard

Key Trends:

  • AI is moving from research to commercial scale, leading to strategic investment by governments and corporations alike.

  • Countries are seeking to build domestic capacities (chips, cloud data centres, edge computing), reducing dependency on US/China supply chains.

  • Regulatory regimes are adapting: data privacy, AI ethics, export controls on semiconductors and dual-use technologies are becoming central.

Why It’s Important for Today:

  • Technology is a major driver of future economic growth — aligning with themes like “Digital India”, “Atmanirbhar Bharat”, and global competitiveness.

  • For exam-readiness: these developments tie into GS Paper 3 (Science & Tech), GS Paper 2 (Governance/Policy), and even GS Paper 1 (Modern history/condition of society).

5. Conflict & Security: Cambodian-Thai Border Ceasefire Accord

A lesser-publicised but significant security development is the resolution of the 2025 Cambodian–Thai Border Crisis. A substantial cease-fire deal – the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord – was signed on 26 October 2025 in Malaysia. Key provisions included withdrawal of heavy weaponry, landmine clearance, temporary border markers, and monitoring by ASEAN observers. Wikipedia

Why It Matters:

  • This agreement underscores how ASEAN is playing a growing role in conflict resolution within Southeast Asia.

  • It also reflects China’s peripheral influence in regional security and how middle powers (e.g., Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia) are asserting diplomatic weight.

  • For India, this sets precedent for regional mediation, connectivity and security partnerships.

Exam Insights:

  • Conflict resolution in regional forums (ASEAN) vs major-power diplomacy.

  • Role of regional organisations in Asia in security architecture.

  • Impact of such agreements on regional infrastructure (roads, rails) and development.

6. Major Diplomatic/Military Incident: South China Sea Helicopter & Jet Crash

Reports emerging on 27 October 2025 indicated that a US Navy helicopter and a fighter-jet crashed separately in the South China Sea during routine operations. Business Standard While full details are still under investigation, the incident highlights the tense strategic environment in the region.

Key Details (so far):

  • Both aircraft belonged to the US Pacific Fleet, operating in a contested zone amid increasing maritime militarization.

  • No immediate casualties reported, but the incident adds to the list of maritime incidents between China and US allies in the South China Sea.

  • This pulls in themes of freedom of navigation, major-power rivalry, maritime domain awareness and the Indo-Pacific strategic paradigm.

Relevance for Exams:

  • For GS Paper 2/3: How do maritime disputes affect global security, trade routes, alliances?

  • For GS Paper 1: Implications for India’s security, given its own interest in Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and partnerships like Indo-Pacific, Quad.

7. Global Governance & Multilateralism: AI for Good, Climate, and Development

While not pinpointed to exactly 28 October, global agenda-setting continues across multilateral fora such as UN, G20, APEC, AI coalitions, climate commitments. For example, October’s “World Agenda – October 2025” lists upcoming global events like the Meteor showers, energy summits, and major climate discussions. Graphic News

Why It Matters:

  • Global governance increasingly involves technology, climate and inclusive development — not just traditional diplomacy.

  • For India and other developing nations, participation in frameworks like AI ethics, climate finance, digital trade becomes integral to exam-relevant GK.

  • Multilateralism vs unilateralism remains a key theme.

Thematic Take-aways & Strategic Implications

  1. Regional Integration and Diplomacy

    • ASEAN’s expansion, Southeast Asia’s diplomatic evolution, and cease-fire agreements reflect a shift from narrow bilateral deals to inclusive regional architectures.

    • India, while not an ASEAN member, can deepen engagement through “Act East”, supply chain linking, technology partnerships.

  2. Economic Resilience amidst Global Slowdown

    • With IMF projecting only ~3.2% global growth for 2025, emerging economies must focus on internal reforms, diversification and moving up the value-chain.

    • India’s export orientation, service economy and domestic demand will play crucial roles.

  3. Technology as Geopolitical Lever

    • Investments in AI, chips, infrastructure show how tech is now a domain of diplomatic and security competition, not just economic.

    • Data governance, export controls, strategic autonomy are interconnected with traditional subjects like geography, polity.

  4. Security in the Indo-Pacific & Beyond

    • From South China Sea military incidents to Southeast Asian border peace accords, maritime security and regional cooperation are central.

    • For India, these events strengthen its case as a security provider in the Indo-Pacific.

  5. Multilateralism Re-defined

    • Traditional multilateral bodies (UN, IMF, WTO) are complemented by new informal groupings, tech coalitions, regional forums. Understanding this ecosystem is key for exam success.

Linking with Competitive Exam Preparation

  • Prelims: Use keywords/dates (e.g., “Timor-Leste joins ASEAN 26 Oct 2025”, “IMF WEO Oct 2025 – Global growth 3.2%”).

  • Mains/Essay: Frame arguments such as “Regional security in Southeast Asia is shifting from balance of power to cooperative architecture”, using the ASEAN summit as example.

  • Interview: Be prepared to discuss “India’s role in ASEAN” or “Global tech competition and India’s strategy for AI” citing recent events.

  • Revision Strategy: Build one-liners and link them to static GK topics – e.g., “ASEAN – 10 members; Timor-Leste becomes 11th on 26 Oct 2025” etc.

Conclusion

28 October 2025 is significant in the international current affairs landscape for its demonstration of how regional diplomacy, economic forecasting, technology investment and security incidents are deeply interconnected. For aspirants, recognising not just what happens but why it matters — and how it links to India or exam syllabus — is crucial.

International Current Affairs 24 October 2025

International Current Affairs – 24 October 2025

1. Narendra Modi to Attend ASEAN & East Asia Summit Virtually

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided not to travel to Malaysia for the upcoming ASEAN & East Asia Summit, opting instead to participate virtually from India. The Economic Times+2thecivicsense.in+2 This decision comes amid pressing domestic festivities and scheduling constraints, but it also means India forfeits an in-person meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, which was expected to be pivotal for finalising a major trade deal. The shift to virtual diplomacy highlights how states are balancing global engagements with rising domestic demands.

Significance:

  • India’s choice reflects the growing viability of remote diplomacy, showing even major leaders adapt to digital engagement.

  • But an in-person meeting often carries symbolic and strategic weight in international negotiations; its loss could slow momentum in concluding the India-US trade talks.

  • For competitive exams, this scenario ties into topics like digital diplomacy, India’s foreign policy strategy, and trade negotiations in a globalised world.

2. Shifting Global Trade Landscape: Implications for India

The backdrop of Modi’s virtual attendance is India’s sensitive trade negotiations with the United States. The absence of a face-to-face summit meeting at the ASEAN forum signals possible delays in clinching the much-anticipated deal. The Economic Times+1

Key points to note:

  • The global trade environment is under pressure from rising protectionism, supply-chain disruptions and regional economic blocs seeking independence.

  • India, balancing strategic ties with the U.S., China and ASEAN, is now nudged into making tactical decisions between speed of deal-making and long-term autonomy.

  • For aspirants: this is a classic case study of trade diplomacy, multilateral negotiations, and geoeconomic strategy.

3. Broader Diplomacy: ASEAN’s Role & India’s Position

The ASEAN & East Asia Summit serves as a key platform where Indo-Pacific policy, economic corridors, supply-chain resilience and regional security converge. India’s participation (even virtually) underscores its intent to remain a major player in this dynamic region. thecivicsense.in+1

Why this matters internationally:

  • ASEAN nations bridge East Asia, South-East Asia and South Asia, making the forum critical to India’s “Act East” and “Indo-Pacific” strategies.

  • India’s digital participation might signal a shift in how summits function — with a blend of on-site and remote diplomacy.

  • This topic relates to themes like regional integration, India’s strategic look eastwards, and future of diplomacy.

Exam-Relevance: What to Remember

  • Use this event when discussing digital diplomacy, particularly how modern states are leveraging technology in global forums.

  • Link to India-US relations — trade deal stalemates, meeting cancellations, and negotiation dynamics.

  • Tie to India’s regional strategy, especially in ASEAN and Indo-Pacific frameworks.

  • Include keywords: virtual summit participation, India’s foreign policy 2025, India-US trade finalisation, ASEAN strategic partnerships.

In short: On 24 October 2025 we see India adapting its diplomacy to a changing world — leveraging technology, managing trade pressures, and engaging multilaterally — all while balancing the domestic calendar and strategic priorities.

Political & Diplomatic Developments

1. Japan’s Parliamentary Vote on New Prime Minister Scheduled

Japan’s lower house has scheduled a vote to select the next prime minister on October 21, 2025. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), led by Sanae Takaichi, proposed the date. However, opposition parties have raised objections, citing ongoing coalition negotiations. The LDP is in talks with the Japan Innovation Party to secure a parliamentary majority, which would enable Takaichi to become Japan’s first female prime minister. Following the vote, the new leader will face a busy diplomatic schedule, including attending international summits in Malaysia and South Korea, and preparing for a visit from U.S. President Donald Trump. Reuters

2. France and Britain Finalize Plans for Gaza Stabilization Force

France and Britain, in coordination with the United States, are finalizing a United Nations Security Council resolution aimed at establishing an international stabilization force for Gaza. This initiative comes amid a fragile U.S.-mediated ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The proposed force would not be a formal U.N. peacekeeping operation but would receive Security Council backing similar to past efforts, such as in Haiti. Countries including Indonesia, Egypt, the UAE, Qatar, and Azerbaijan have shown interest in contributing troops, with Indonesia offering up to 20,000 personnel if a U.N. mandate is established. Reuters

3. Upcoming Russia–United States Summit in Hungary

An upcoming summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled for late 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. The summit aims to address the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. On October 16, Trump and Putin had a two-and-a-half-hour-long phone call to discuss the war, with both leaders agreeing to meet in Hungary. The summit is expected to focus on efforts to bring an end to the conflict. Wikipedia

Economic & Financial Updates

4. IMF’s Global Economic Outlook: Growth Projections Revised
